WOOL.
Wheeling.

TUESDAY,, July 10.
Wool is much quieter and the market Is
away off, owing TO the stringency OF the
money market and other causes. The
market has weakened on all grades, and fine
wool is still very much neglected, while
medium woods are from to , cents lower,
the demand not being rs good ~ formerly.
Manufacturers seem reluctant TO purchase
even at present prices and lower prices are
predicted for the future. The goods mar
ket is reported very quiet, and 1t is I'M
possible for any manufacturer to get an
advance over last years prices.
Prices are quoted ~ follows: Medium
unwashed 26 to 2Sc; medium tiecces wash
ed b to 81 medium tub washed "a to

Toe less.
Fine fleece washed wool 90 TO Bic; I'M

PHILADELPHIA, July lS-There Is 40
improvement Ia note in the wool market.
Manufacturers operate very cautiously
owing To tbs, unsatisfactory condition OF
the goods trade. Notwithstanding the
higher cost OF the raw material several
leading makes of lightweight goods are
offered below last years prices. In order
to meet the continued competition OF
foreign yarn and goods manufacturers
have been obliged to cheaper their pro-
ducts aud are naturally reluctant To
| invest freely in the raw material at
ruling prices. Holders, on the other
hand, are unwilling 10 make concessions
owing to the relatively high cost of wool
at interior points Supplies are light as
compared with last years stocks at this
time, but dealers manifest little or no dis
position to bring woods forward in the pres
ent condition of the market because there

the investment. Prices at colntry points
are about the same as they have been for the
past two weeks, while there is no prospect
Of any improvement IN the seaboard mar
kets. As a whole the trade is un'
satisfactory and there is good deal OF un,
certainty as to the future values. Transac,
